Ok, I have been reading about this being a symptom of anxiety, but what exactly is giddiness?? Is it anything like a lightheaded..dizzy type feeling? Just curious as to what one feels like when one is giddy. Thanks!

God bless.

"Giddiness" I associate with jr. high school girls who laugh about anything and are just generally silly.

Good response Debaser I think along the same lines
Like a group of girls carrying on or it could be silly things getting you gidddy
Laughing uncontrollably perhaps

Thats is how I associate it as well but,in the book I have been reading by Claire Weeks she calls giddiness as meaning dizzy,lightheaded...etc....So I guess in the anxiety world it means that.
